I've been looking for a good quality journal for awhile now and I prefer the older, more classic, leather style.
I saw many ones with intricate claps, gems, or weaving on the front, but they seemed a little impractical and I didn't feel like spending more than $30 dollars. I saw this and I loved the design.
Today I received it in the mail and I was very happy with what I got. It was packaged nicely and it wasn't dirty or damaged at all. The leather is actually real, (which is didn't expect) and the cover has a nice sturdy feel to it. It feels a little stiff at first, but since I have to hold the left side down in order to write, it gets better with some use. It doesn't stay all the way closed without the clasp because of the leather so the clasp was a good idea and it seems it is attached well to the cover. The design is actually carved into the book which makes it look a lot nicer.
The pages are really good quality and are a lot thicker than printer paper or notebook paper. You could use this as a sketch book for drawings or a journal. My "artist pens" don't bleed through them at all which is really nice. I also really like that there are no lines on the pages which makes it look nicer and it looks good when you add your own borders/designs.
Overall, I was really happy with this journal and I would recommend it to anyone.
